I still remember this hypochlorus acid (Hocl) as it is a weak acid which comes to be when chlorine reacts with water. it is also an oxidising agent. Option B is correct & C is also correct.I think its d chemical been used in swimming pools. I go with B
Bleachn agents are nt always oxidizn agents o.SO3 ion bleaches by reduction.read more
good bleaching agents are oxidizing agents,,chlorine bleaches by oxidation,,unlike SO3 which bleaches by reduction..check it out
hocl bleaches by oxidation not because its acid but because of chlorine while sulphur bleaches by reduction either by adding it to another element or not, so chlorine bleaches by oxidation
D ans is 'B'.dis is bcos chlorine reacts wit water 2form oxochlorate(1)acid whch is unstable nd decomposes 2release oxygen whch oxidizes d dye or stain dereby 4min a colourless compound.
the correct answer is a very reasonable and a compatible and undeterminable and scrupulosly intermediate to the immediate conception that there is no answer
also d adding an electronegative element in anoda element makes d compound to undergo oxidation and becomes oxidizing agent
also d adding an electronegative element in anoda element makes d compound to undergo oxidation and becomes oxidizing agent.z d presence of chlorine dat makes d HCL to bcom a bleaching agent
Hypochlorous acid is used as a bleach because it is an **oxidizing agent**. It forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming hypochlorite, ClO−. HClO and ClO− are oxidizers, and the primary disinfection agents of chlorine solutions. So, the correct answer is **C. it is an oxidising agent**.
is a weak acid with the chemical formular Hocl or it calcium salt is used as a bleach cos oxides sulfhydry groups leading to d formation of disulfide........
Salts of hypochlorous acid are called hypochlorites. One of the best-known hypochlorites is NaClO, the active ingredient in bleach. HOCl is a stronger oxidant than chlorine under standard conditions.
Hypochlorous acid contains a high amount of chlorine. When we look at the physical properties of chlorine, we see that it is a yellowish-green gas that turns blue litmus paper to red and then bleaches it. Therefore, hypochlorous acid can be used as a bleach because of the chlorine which does the work of bleaching.
yep u guys r rite but for this qstn c is corect cos d qstn askd 4 why it bleaches
